In a secret place in the forest, Hiroshi Otoi watched helplessly as Toyama Kazuha was knocked unconscious and taken away by the man wearing the mask after finding the mask fragments.

This is what she calls a plan.

Although Otoi Hiroshi refused at first, under her firm gaze, he still agreed.

So, he pretended to have something to do and left first, hiding in the dark.

Seeing Kazuye being knocked unconscious, he was relieved. Since the murderer chose to take her away instead of killing her on the spot, it meant that she had other uses.

At least it's not life-threatening for now.

However, for safety reasons, he still gave Kazuye the detective badge he was wearing so that he could contact him at any time if there was any situation.

"Were you attacked after that?" Mizuo Harutaro asked in surprise.

Hattori Heiji nodded, "That's why I took the liberty of coming here to ask for Mr. Mizuo's alibi, because the murderer was wearing the Noh mask of an old man."

"Can the old man meet you?"

"I would like to ask you about the alibi of Mr. Saijo and Mr. Ryuumao." Hattori Heiji turned his head and looked at the other two people.

"Do we want it too?" Long Yuan asked.

"It's really nerve-wracking," Taiga Saijo said helplessly, "We originally had to discuss the murderer of Mr. Sakura with the four of us, Ms. Chika Suzu, before we came here."

"Okay then," Mizuo Harutarou folded his sleeves, "After leaving the teahouse last night, I came back directly to sleep, but I'm still single, and my mother is some distance away from my room, so I can't prove whether I was there after that. Stay home all the time.”

Saijo Taiga tugged at his collar, "My situation is the same as his, because I live alone on the second floor of the shop on Teramachi Road."

"After I recited scriptures in the main hall of the temple for a while, I went back to my room to sleep, so I had no witnesses." Long Yuan said.

"Is that so?" Hattori Heiji raised his head again, "Then let me ask again, are the three of you practicing bows and arrows?"

"Did you say bows and arrows? No." Saijo Taiga shook his head.

Mizuo Harutaro casually dusted off the dust on his legs, "I once pulled the Azusa bow on the Noh stage called Maple Leaf Viewing."

"I have also imitated drawing a bow to exorcise demons," Long Yuan said, shaking his head, "but I have never really practiced the skill of bow and arrow."

"Then no one in the tea house at that time could draw a bow and arrow?" Conan asked.

"So," Saijo Taiga raised his head as if thinking, "Yamakura seems to be..."

"Eh?" Hattori Heiji stared at him in surprise, "Did you say that the hostess of the teahouse practiced bow and arrow? But she wasn't there at the time."

"No la……"

"Excuse me." Chika Suzu, who had changed her makeup, opened the door and walked in.

Long Yuan stood up, "Ah, she's here."

"Ah?" Conan was stunned, "Is your sister Miss Chiga Suzu?"

"Well, I am." Qianhe Ling smiled lightly.

Mizuo Harutaro looked at the expressions of Hattori Heiji and Conan with satisfaction, "They are completely different from the dancers dressed like this. You didn't expect it. Come in quickly."

Girl Chika Suzu

Geisha Chika Suzu

Chika Suzu walked to the side of the table, took half a step back with her right foot, and knelt down gracefully.

When Saijo Taiga sat down, he also made the same move.

As soon as she sat down, Qian Heling leaned over and said thank you: "Thank you for last night, please come again in the future."

"No, you are too polite."

……

After a brief chat, several other people left, and Hattori Heiji walked along the paths of Kyoto with Conan and Chika Suzu.

"Actually, Sannoji Temple is on Rokkaku Road, and we are passing by Yichuan Road now."

While she was talking, Chika Suzu pinched her fingers and sang cutely:

【Maru Takeyi Er Oshi Ochi】

【Sister, sister six...】

"So, that should be on the sixth road," she said with a smile.

Her faint smile made Hattori Heiji instantly recall the figure in his mind when he was young, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

"Hey, sister, what song was that just now?" Conan asked curiously.

Chika Suzu leaned down gracefully, covered her chest lightly and said, "We call it a ball song here, which is a song that compiles the names of the roads in Kyoto in order from north to south."

【Maru Takeyi Er Oshi Ochi】

[Sister Three Hexagonal Octopus Brocade]

【Four damasks, tall pine trees, ten thousand and five strips】

【Snowshoes Ding Dang Dang Fish Rack】

【After passing through six items and seven items】

[After eight steps, you will reach Toji Road]

[Finally, there are nine avenues]

"Children in Kyoto use this song to remember the names of these roads."

"So? Are you from Kyoto too?" Hattori Heiji asked, putting his hand in his pocket.

"Well, that's right."

"How old are you?"

"Nineteen."

After walking through the alleys and onto the urbanized road, Chika Suzu slowly said: "This is Oike Road, so I'll take my leave first."

"Sister, goodbye."

"again."

After Chika Suzu left, Conan turned around and looked at Hattori Heiji, who had long been uncomfortable, "Don't you think she is..."

"It must be her. She is from Kyoto and is two years older than me." Hattori Heiji affirmed.

"But," Conan revealed his half-moon eyes helplessly, "Children in Kyoto can sing that song..."

But Hattori Heiji, who was already on top, ignored his words and kept saying: "I finally saw her, I finally saw her..."

Suddenly, his cell phone rang, interrupting his fantasy.

"Heiji, what are you doing! How could a kid like you run out of the hospital without permission?" As soon as the call was connected, Officer Otaki's rough voice rang out.

"Ah...it's Uncle Otaki..."

"Forget it, let's not mention it for now. The blood test results are out. I heard that on the handle of the short knife, a little bit of the same blood type as Mr. Sakura's was found. In addition, the shape of the knife is also the same as Sakura's. Sir’s wounds are consistent.”

"is it?"

"Heiji, I kindly advise you, please don't mess around. If something happens to you, what do you want me to do with your father..."

"Okay, I understand. Then, thank you, Uncle Otaki."

When the phone was hung up, Officer Otaki sighed helplessly. The child obviously didn't listen...

"In this way, I can be sure that the person who attacked me is the murderer of Mr. Sakura." Hattori Heiji looked at Conan.

Conan raised his head and said, "If that's the case, then the four people who couldn't get rid of the murder weapon should not be the murderers."

While talking, the two happened to walk to the temple where Hattori Heiji met his first love.

Hattori Heiji stood there with a faint smile on his face. The cherry blossoms were just in time at this moment, and the small figure in his memory slowly overlapped with Chiga Suzu.

"Conan!" Ayumi spread her hands and ran over happily, "What are you doing?"

"Why are you here?" Conan asked in surprise.

"We answered Dr. Agasa's question correctly, so he brought us here."

"However, Genta... actually got lost..." Mitsuhiko said helplessly.

"Ahaha..." Conan sighed, "Then use the detective badge to call."

"We have contacted him just now."

"But because Yuan Tai can't read Chinese characters, I can't tell where he is now."

"So," Dr. Agasa and Miyano Shiho came over, "we want to use your glasses to find him."

"OK, I'll..." Before he could finish speaking, Conan suddenly noticed the person standing next to Dr. A Li, "Ah! You!!!"

"This sister is a distant relative of Ai Jiang," Ayumi introduced proactively, "Isn't she pretty?"

Miyano Shiho walked over slowly, leaned over and pinched Conan's ears, "I'll explain it to you later. Where is Otoi Hiro?"

"He...he..." Conan was suddenly stunned, "Where did he go?"

"I'm asking you!"

Miyano Shiho twisted it coldly.
